Whats the treatment for lordosis?
The goal of treatment is to stop the progression of the curve and prevent deformity. Management of lordosis will depend upon the cause of the lordosis. Simple exercises may be sufficient if lordosis is associated with poor posture. However, lordosis occurring as a result of a hip problem may be treated as a part of the hip problem. Treatment is determined by the patient’s age, the severity of the curvature and the symptoms. Non-operative treatment may include bracing and physical therapy, in cases of more severe curvature or in adults, a spinal fusion is used to correct the curvature. If the curvature is severe and causing other symptoms, spinal instrumentation, artificial disc replacement and kyphoplasty are all potential surgical treatments for lordosis.
